Very interesting article from a few years ago. In Canada women outnumber men at universities by a wide margin. Women are more educated, have higher employment rates, and have lower high school/university dropout rates than men.
Even women studying law and medicine now outnumber men at Canadian universities.

Congratulations on earning your Masters degree and playing chicken with biology while you hold off on children for as long you dare... Here's 8% more pay than this guy who graduated from high school.
Hyperbole, *obviously*, but I would question why if women are more educated and more employable, the discrepancy is only 8%. And the caveat in there of "under 30 and childless" is not insignificant, either. Biology sort of dictates that the person with the uterus is the one who's going to have the child. Even if Dad stays home, there's still career implications for the woman since she goes through the pregnancy, takes time off to physically recover, etc.
